Hi,
I'm new to the Forum and starting EMT class next week.
The question/answer that is confusing... What is the average starting salary of an EMT? I am in Connecticut if that helps.
I've talked to many EMT's and what they tell me is A LOT different from what I read on-line. Many told me they started between $15 - $18 an hr.
Then when I search on-line, even using my State, many sites say $11.00.
I love the medical field, worked for a major Clinical Laboratory for 20 years, and am a CNA at the moment, but it pays an unsustainable wage, especially in CT. This is the main reason I need to switch careers.
I'd love to find out the honest and average pay rate... Thank you!
